[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who are not NT and I might have also said to the kid “they have ice cream”—I wouldn’t press it. But I do generally speak l I know a kid can’t always respond if they are in kept down but I don’t think it’s awful to speak to the child, assuming you’re not badgering them. I don’t have a good phrase but would probably say something like “thanks but I am handling this.” I wouldn’t be rude to another parent unless they were truly awful because I know I will need that parent’s grace and acceptance for my child at another point in time, so I always go out of my way to be positive with other parents and adults that my kids will interact with. For the truck lady, I might have just said “I’ll make decisions about what my child is allowed to have, thanks.” Or just said the ice cream was for me and then handed it to my kid if they wanted it. I agree she was awful.[/quote]
